How Fanta Was Created for Nazi Germany – Gastro Obscura
IT’S FEBRUARY 1944, AND BERLIN is attempting to recover from American aerial bombing. But life and industry continues on the city’s outskirts. In farmhouses, bottles clang and a mix of ex-convicts, Chinese laborers, and other workers fill glass bottles of what was likely a cloudy, brownish liquid. This is one of Coca-Cola’s makeshift bottling operations, and they are making Nazi Germany’s signature beverage. Even during war, Germans want their Fanta.

Not knowing the difference between carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide is the not knowing the difference between death and life. 🙍🏼♂️☠
Humans create both when they burn calories in their bodies. Carbon dioxide is the normal byproduct but any burning process has some incomplete combustion creating carbon monoxide including human cells.
Carbon monoxide is very poisonous to muscles including the heart so red blood cells have a strong affinity to it to purge muscles of it. But excessive carbon monoxide in red blood cells reduces the ability of them to also carry oxygen, which leads to suffocation.
I like Blake Shelton
Driving this evening, I heard Blake Shelton on the radio. Playboys of the Southwestern World. I was like, I like Blake Shelton, he’s pyro and he burns his trash (sometimes setting his yard on fire). I was reading antique tractor types weren’t happy about him burning that scrap metal tractor, but it probably was just scrap.
